I'm gonna harvest some herbs on the 12th. Gonna cut my big purple basil plants in half again because they've got a gangsta lean going on right now. The bees, wasps, hoverflies, and green lacewings love the flowers. Haven't seen any caterpillars or spider mites in the herb garden in a while.

Looking good.
The deer ate everything in the garden but the habs and Cayenne. And the freeze we had a couple of weeks back got them. All I have growing at the moment is the Rabb Broccoli in a cow trough down at the river house.

I’ve some beets and cabbage that need to get in the ground. But I need to fence another garden bed so the chickens don’t roll my veg, the backyard turf war has begun.

I’ve got some big cabbage that is getting cut for thanksgiving and my collards have been so productive that we get a mess every ten days or so. The same cold spell that hit Larry hit us pretty hard, wiping out the okra, butter beans and tomatoes. I’m going to plow it all under and put in more turnips, I love the greens but I don’t care for the roots.

We went to the tomato fields on Monday. Picked a mixed bucket of Jalapeno, bells and tomatoes. {also ate a couple of raw squash} The cold had killed most of the vines, but there was plenty of fruit. But now 5 days later, most of the tomatoes are rotting. I guess it was the freeze. Plus the price has gone up to 9 bucks a bucket. Not too happy with them right now.

my grandpa grew kiwi for years, acres of them..i dug a shit ton of trenches for irrigation line whenever i went to visit...those will get 12 feet tall easy if they have a place to grow and good conditions, but you won't get any fruit for 3 or 4 years

I’ll eventually replant them and build something for them to climb on. Like you said 3-4 for years no rush

man the weather outside is gross but I'm getting the compost started for next season now. Need to steal a few bags of leaves from my neighbors so I have plenty of carbon to mix in with the greens. Planning a ~3' raised bed with different cherry tomatoes for my kiddo this year, probably 8x8' with a center walkway. I'm considering putting some 4x4 posts in and covering the whole thing in bird netting as I've always had issues with them.

Last night I walked down to my old camp from the river house to check on the orange trees. The short one has 10-12 oranges on it, but it's laying over pretty good, and got a couple of downed oaks on it. The tall one looks fine, but it's only got two oranges right at the very top. Each orange is good for 20-25 seeds.
